Volunteer Inquiries:

Thank you for wanting to help the foster children at Joshua House by volunteering!

• Recycling: 1 hour or less per week. Someone to come in once per week on a weekday to collect recycling from the 2 buildings/4 offices and bring to our on-site recycling dumpster. Also handle 2-3 garbage bins and bring to our on-site trash dumpster. Perfect for a quick, after-school project. Wednesdays are best, but day is flexible, M-F.
• Event Planning Committee Members: We need a few special volunteers to join our event planning committees and help us create special events, secure sponsors, auction items, and ticket sales as well as help us promote our events to the community.
• Interns: For details and how to apply Click Here.
• Pick-up & Delivery Volunteers: We are blessed to have Chick-fil-A and KFC donate to us every week, but we need to pick up from their locations in Lutz and bring to Joshua House every Monday & Friday. Need a volunteer for one or both days each week.
• Cooking “Classes” – Need a small group of volunteers – 2-3 people – to teach a cooking class(es) to a small group of our kids, usually 4-6. The volunteer group would be responsible for planning the menu, organizing the preparation & execution of the cooking (who will do what). Volunteers need to be over 18, have experience cooking and be available evenings or weekends. Please note: The purchase of ingredients would be the responsibility of the volunteers, although we may have some items available. Cost is reimbursable.
• Life Skills Training: Do you or your organization have experience with training teens or young adults on “life skills”? Financial/budgeting, Wellness/Stress relief, Career Exploration, job skills? This is an important part of our program for our teenagers, and we love to have community experts connect with our teens.
• Sewing Help: We need volunteers to sew Santa/Birthday Sacks (CLICK HERE for instructions)

If we do not have any opportunities for you at this time, we will add your email to our distribution list and will contact you with volunteer opportunities when they arise. Currently, we do not have any individual volunteering opportunities working directly with the children.

Also, please note: We are unable to accommodate short-term volunteers needing hours for college classes or community service. Although we appreciate your interest, we do not have the staff to train/supervise short-term volunteers. Thank you for understanding.
